Pills Cure Unemployment



Unemployment has been in the news a lot lately. I couldn't resist writing the title "Pills Cure Unemployment." I imagined it appearing as a headline in a tabloid paper.

This postcard was printed in U. S. A. by Bamforth. Bamforth was a British postcard publisher that had a U. S. branch in New York. I think the humor on this postcard represents the British style more than the American. British humor seems to border on the tasteless more than American postcard humor does (or maybe British taste is just different than American). Bamforth produced many comic postcards and is best known for saucy seaside postcards.
